OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...
I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…
Good one mate, I know where you're coming from, glad I'm not alone on the swearing and Take 550 ......

Well you’ve proved to yourself your not “crap” reminds me of something my father would say to me time and time again “ don’t touch that you’ll break it “ and I normally did. Pleased you saved this one from the shoe box an excellent lyric love it pie pod bound along with all your others 😁
(Sadly, sometimes one friend thinks they are more than friends?)
Friend, she calls me friend. and I'll never tell her the truth
What I feel, how I wish that this friend could be so much more
But she's too close to ever see, that this friend…
Another song from my 2013 RPM Challenge album. I always like this one, but I'm not sure I did it justice this time. There is a lot of really sloppy guitar playing, even if the Klon KTR overdrive pedal sounds EPIC. Sorry, gear nerd.
This…
Yep, like it. I recognised the chorus - and I probably only heard it once back in 2013 - it's quite memorable. I checked the original out earlier (I was typing when a windows update crashing my machine got in the way!! That's an hour of my life I'll never get back again ... I thought my laptop was dying!) ... Anyways, I found that this one, for me, is an improvement on the original...
Love those guitar harmonies, by the way.
So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
Funny situation about a love they refuse to give up on. Need a break every now and then.....
I was a happy boy with you as my girlfriend
You talked me into marriage, we've been fighting ever since
then came the time I didn't cry when you…
A funny song about someone's poor luck in marriage. Not being judgmental, but sometimes we just need to laugh.
My first Ex-wife, she bet me, I'd never marry again
She said no woman with half a brain would have me for her man
Well, I proved…
A song about regrets. Luckily I changed my hectic schedule and was able to spend time with family, especially my Dad before he passed.
If I had time? I'd go visit with my Dad, and listen to those stories of when he was just a child.....If I…
After the visit to Spain in no. 7, I found myself drifting over the continent of Asia for no. 8 !! Hopefully have captured some of the flavours of that area of the World.....
As ever, 13111y supplied the final mastering.....cheers Billy.
Nice one. Like the tinkly motif on the top that's there at the start and the finish... feels like it's been there all the way through... makes me feel like I've been on a journey.
This song scares me. This song stresses me out. This song confuses me. I could write a song about how messed up this song makes me feel.
Is it the best song I've ever written? Not even close. Why then do I insist to myself that it's the…

I struggle with the same sort of thing over songs... it's why I tend to take so long with some - I can't tell whether a song of mine's any good, never can. But often I have a suspicion it might be "WOW" and so I want to give it the best chance of receiving a WOW or two... and so I worry and stress about it until I can't do any better, then I say it's done and post it (or file it, or sometimes bin it). I'm always proud of them, every single one of them, but I never know whether any of them are any good until other people say so. Somehow, when I was young, I set myself up with "if it's popular, it's good pop music", and I'm kinda stuck with that now... too late to change!!

nice dance song

Mighty fine album MTC - sorry I didn't spot it earlier.
Oh yesss... I was going to maybe go to bed and listen to this tomorrow... but... change of plan : I'm gonna listen now, sleep can wait :)
Well I know I'd only reappeared a month after this, but how did I miss this album existed? Magnificent opener.
This is still so good.
I miss Daisy. (Run Daisy, run!) The collar is off!!
Excellent chorus - love the lyric. Yep. Welcome :) ... Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff.
LOL, faved before 30 seconds... Love it.
Oh yeah, cool song. And slide guitar! What's not to like.
Led Zep ish :)
Nice one. Like the tinkly motif on the top that's there at the start and the finish... feels like it's been there all the way through... makes me feel like I've been on a journey.
Awesome road trip soundtrack. Leave it all behind, take only great music with you.
Just what the hell did you tell that splinter?? Stop talking to the enemy!! Nice work here.
